The hunter-'chaser.

Product Information

The Christie team did enjoy some compensation however when Vaucelet and Ask D'Man claimed a famous Stratford double to end the season. It was a case of friends reunited at Haydock on Saturday as Cousin Pascal was cheered to victory by the bride and groom of the wedding he attended a few months ago. I was commissioned to portray ‘Niloufer’ – a small, wiry and very sharp hunter-chaser mare just before her retirement. Cousin Pascal provided O'Shea with his fourth victory in Haydock's Walrus Hunters' Chase to take his tally to five wins, including two point-to-points, since moving to Britain. A hardback volume in Acceptable condition, boards and spine rather grubby, interior clean and bright.

A poor condition book can still make a good reading copy but is generally not collectible unless the item is very scarce. Of the other domestic hunter chases, the 2016 Raymond Smith was overshadowed by the fatal injury suffered by David Christie’s You Must Know Me, moments after he had crossed the line to claim victory under Barry O’Neill. The move to the right-handed Punchestown a week later, ensured that the big Cheltenham Foxhunters Trial lost some of its appeal for trainers, and emphasised the lack of left-handed opportunities within the hunter chase division.Instead, the temptation of another Cheltenham Foxhunter Chase was taken, and while Spartan Missile gave Diana a fine ride and carried her into sixth place behind the Alan Hill-ridden Elmboy he finished lame. The 2018/19 hunter chase season had a very traditional look to it with the programme by-and-large replicating the provisional summary of previous years, with the three autumn hunter chases being headlined by the breakthrough success of Stand Up And Fightat Down Royal. Sir Peter O'Sullevan's BBC commentary on the run-in reflected that Spartan Missile was "a great hunter chaser – more than a hunter chaser" and that Thorne was letting him hack canter to victory with a possible view to turning out for the National two days later, although that plan was shelved. He ran 16 times over hurdles between the ages of three and five, winning twice in big fields and making the frame on half a dozen occasions. The book details every aspect of the subject, and is of particular value, for it is the only one of its kind published for many years.

His life, and that of the Thorne family who bred, owned and trained him, embraces amazing performances, historic achievements and, almost inevitably, tragedy, too. At Diffeence Wiki, she crafts clear and unbiased comparisons to guide readers in making informed decisions. He added a conditions chase win at Newbury but unseated professional jockey Hywel Davies in Corbiere's Grand National, while in the following year's National at the age of 12 he finished 16 th under amateur John White.

The sound instruction and information given in this book make it a particularly valuable one for the amateur owner and would-be trainer, for whom primarily it is designed. At Cheltenham he beat Honourable Man (Geordie Dun) and Sun Lion (Robert Waley-Cohen) by 12l and 20l in a time only five seconds slower than it took Little Owl to defeat legends Night Nurse and Silver Buck in the Gold Cup, while at Aintree Grittar was in a different league, cantering home by 20 lengths and one and a half lengths from Sydney Quinn (Paul Webber) and Flexibility (Martin Bosley).
